We all start crafting in one way or another during nursery school (kindergarten). In those days we just get on with it, have fun and think whatever we create is wonderful and everyone we show it to will instantly know what it is.
I certainly thought that and only realised how wrong I must have been when my own son presented me with his beautiful drawings or raw pasta shells pictures when I collected him from nursery school. I would turn that sheet of paper many times in all directions, trying to figure out what it could be.
Does this sound familiar?
My mum and gran were my teachers. Passing down their skills to me and although not everything went very well, we sure had fun.
It’s crazy how quickly you can loose your confidence in crafting or come to believe that you’re not good at it, just because life got in the way and you didn’t get to do it often.
I hope that my own story resonates in a way and maybe nudges you, dear listener, to throw caution to the wind and give it ago again - no matter what the end result will look like.
It’s more important that you have fun in the process and that you get a chance to express yourself and have a little ME-time (something, I forgot all too often in the past).
Please check out the next “real” episodes with the wonderful Antje and the inspiring David dropping on Monday, 22nd of September and listen to their stories of their very own crafting journey!
